"The flames are so powerful!"
"boom!!!"
In Ninggao County, in a forest, Li Fucheng half-kneeled on the ground panting heavily, the golden-red profound energy wrapped around him and never dissipated for a long time.
"How...how is it possible!? How could you possibly break through my Chengyun Kungfu!? It's clearly just a mere great mystic master! How is it possible!!!"
Opposite Li Fucheng, a reckless man with a big hole in his chest was full of disbelief.
"Ha...ha..." Li Fucheng, who finally managed to catch his breath, stood up slowly, dragging his body covered in scars and walking slowly towards the reckless man.
"Wait... wait, what do you want? I can give you whatever you want! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Zhuang Tianyi! You wantonly deceive and harm the villagers. You take pleasure in killing people on weekdays, and you do everything! Killing you today is doing justice for the heavens!"
Seeing that Li Fucheng's momentum was getting higher and higher, Zhuang Tianyi knew that begging for mercy was useless, so he shouted viciously: "My master is the head of Wuxiang Sect! Gu Qingyue, if you dare to kill me today! My master will definitely not let you go!" yours!"
"Before I die, let me tell you something."
As Li Fucheng spoke, he raised his right hand high.
"I have heard this sentence no less than a hundred times."
After speaking, Li Fucheng used Suyang Palm to slap Zhuang Tianyi's Tian Ling Gai.
With a muffled sound, Zhuang Tianyi lost all interest in his eyes and slowly fell to the ground.
"Cough! Cough cough...cough!"
After a few violent coughs, Li Fucheng spat out a mouthful of blood. Just now he forcibly improved his cultivation base and skills by relying on the formation, but now the force of backlash came, and his internal organs seemed to be squeezed together.
"Senior brother!" Tang Tingshuang, who had been standing behind, rushed up quickly, poured a yellow clear elixir from the blue medicine bottle, and fed it into Li Fucheng's mouth.
After swallowing the Qingling Pill, Li Fucheng said "thank you" and meditated on the spot.
After a cup of tea, the violent profound energy in Li Fucheng's body calmed down a little, and the frown that made him frown slowly began to unfold.
Watching senior brother slowly open his eyes, Tang Tingshuang asked worriedly, "Senior brother, are you alright?"
"Huh..." Letting out a long breath, Li Fucheng waved his hands and said, "It's okay, just take a rest and you'll be fine."
Seeing Li Fucheng's complexion gradually turn rosy, Tang Tingshuang felt relieved.
At this time, a figure suddenly ran from a distance at an extremely fast speed, and after seeing clearly Zhuang Tianyi's body on the ground, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, brother, I knew you could do it! With the cultivation of the Great Mysterious Master , Go up and down and kill Xuanling-level powerhouses! I really don’t understand your strength more and more.”
Hearing Zhou Guican's exaggerated tone, Li Fucheng smiled and said, "It's just luck this time. If I didn't know Zhuang Tianyi's skills in advance, I can say that I have no chance of winning this battle. How are you doing?" ?”
After hearing this, Zhou Guican said displeasedly: "You look down on brother, don't you? You can even kill Zhuang Tianyi, brother, wouldn't it be easy for me to kill his subordinates?"
"Since that's the case, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly."
"Okay, let's go!"
When they came to a secluded small courtyard, Tang Tingshuang took off Li Fucheng's shirt and began to help him treat the wound, while Zhou Guican sat beside him and made a pot of tea and said, "Hey, have you heard that Menliang County The dog official was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, I have to say that the new emperor is really powerful, how many dog officials have been killed in a month's work, what a joy!"
Hearing the words "new emperor", Li Fucheng couldn't help but see the figure he admired very much again in his mind.
Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Fucheng inquired about his background. After learning that he was a disciple of the Guixin Sect, Li Fucheng's first reaction was to think of Brother Wang, but unfortunately, he finally found that the name did not match.
But because the new emperor and Brother Wang belong to the Guixin Sect, Li Fucheng pays special attention to the new emperor's every move, and soon discovers that the new emperor has the world in mind, loves the people like a son, and let him see every new government order He sighed greatly, but it was only a sigh, because he knew that these new decrees seemed beautiful, but it was extremely difficult to implement them.
However, not long after he finished sighing, he discovered that the emperor had actually started a "personal conquest"!
In just a few days, the new emperor appeared in various counties and villages in Fengzhou like a soldier descending from the sky. Whenever he met a corrupt official, he would take off his black hat, and if the circumstances were serious, he would be pushed directly to Caishikou to be beheaded. .
And the reason why he was able to know the news was not that he was quick to inquire about it, but that the new emperor started to publicize it vigorously after doing these things, posted notices everywhere, and even set up an official position called "reporter" to go everywhere. Read out the content of the announcement so that the illiterate people can know it, and record the feedback of the people after hearing it one by one, and make it known to the world.
With two prongs, these news swept the entire Fengzhou like a storm. All the local officials can be said to be in danger, and they all tried their best to implement the new policy to ensure that even if the emperor suddenly appeared in his village, he would not kill his head.
Such a good emperor who rescued all the people in Fengzhou made Li Fucheng think of Brother Wang again, and his intuition told him that this Jiang Beiran might have something to do with Brother Wang.
Thinking of this, Li Fucheng looked at Zhou Guican and asked, "When did you know the news about Menliang County?"
"I heard in the morning that notices are being posted outside the village."
"Menliang County is not far from here. I heard that wherever the emperor goes, he will stay until night before leaving. Why don't we try our luck? See if we can meet that emperor."
"Good idea! But is your injury serious?"
"It's okay, it's not too late, let's go."
"Brother!" Tang Tingshuang, who was bandaging Li Fucheng's wound, yelled, "No matter how urgent you are, you have to deal with the wound first."
"Okay, please hurry up, Shuang'er."
"I don't know why you are so interested in the emperor..." Shaking his head, Tang Tingshuang continued to wipe the sword wound on Li Fucheng's body.
…
In Menliang County, in Pingsha Village, Jiang Beiran was sitting in a gazebo drinking the wine that the village was pouring for him.
"Your Majesty, the Yanshan wine in our village is notoriously mellow, please try it."
Taking a sip of the aroma of the wine, Jiang Beiran said slowly, "Don't rush to drink the wine, first present the household registration book of the village to me for a look."
"Observe the order! The villain will go and get it now, and go and get it now!"
Rushing out of the gazebo, the villager shouted at the villagers who were standing in a circle and kept looking in: "What are you doing here! If you disturb Sheng Jia, you will be killed!"
Although the villagers took two steps back after hearing this, they still craned their necks to look in, wanting to see what the ancient Mingjun on the bulletin board looked like.
"Sir! The clothes worn by the villagers here are much better than those in Shitou Village! You can see that they are very warm. You are so amazing, sir! Long live a person like him!"
Behind Jiang Beiran, Kong Qianqian said while holding his shoulders.
Because Kong Qianqian would call her wrong no matter how she corrected it, Jiang Beiran didn't bother to bother with her anymore, and called her sir when she called her.
"Want to drink?" Jiang Beiran asked, picking up the wine glass on the table.
Kong Qianqian swallowed, and said, "What Qianqian said just now came from the bottom of his heart! It's not for begging for a drink."
"really?"
"Really!" Kong Qianqian replied sonorously.
"That's good, sir, I hate people who don't tell the truth the most."
When Kong Qianqian heard this, she immediately panicked, walked up to Jiang Beiran and gestured, "Actually... there's a little bit, just to beg for a drink, really just a little bit."
As Kong Qianqian spoke, he pressed his thumb and index finger together vigorously, making sure to leave a small gap.
Jiang Beiran couldn't help laughing after hearing this, teasing Kong Qianqian occasionally could really make him happy physically and mentally.
"Take it and drink it." Jiang Beiran said and handed the wine glass to Kong Qianqian.
"Thank you sir!" Kong Qianqian took the cup with a smile, walked to Mu Yao's side and said, "Senior Sister, drink first."
Mu Yao shook her head, smiled and said, "Drink it yourself." Then she continued to look at the villagers outside the gazebo.
In just one month, she understood what is truly earth-shaking.
From the beginning of seeing deserted small towns and dilapidated villages one after another, as well as those villagers with dull eyes who seemed to have become numb, now it is often seen that some villages are repairing dilapidated houses in the village, and the villagers' faces are full of blood. Filled with a happy smile.
All of this is only a month away.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's back, and recalling everything that happened in the past few months, Mu Yao sincerely felt that this man could always think of the most concise and effective way to solve the problem, and he acted vigorously.
'Perhaps this is what a king really should look like...'
After a while, the villager who had obtained the household registration book ran wildly back to the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, this is the household registration book of the village, please have a look."
Taking the household registration booklet, Jiang Beiran glanced at it twice and praised: "Your household registration booklet is exquisitely made."
Hearing the emperor's praise, Murao immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The villain is only doing his job well, and dare not be praised by the emperor."
Having been to so many villages, Jiang Beiran has also seen a lot of various household registration books, some of which are scribbled and pieced together. In short, it seems that they were prepared in a hurry.
But the household registration book in front of me is not only well preserved, but it not only records the names of the villagers, but also records of the villagers' family income and expenditure.
For example, on this page, Dai Chuan’s family’s annual income is 120 shi for grain (7,200 renminbi in total), ten bolts of cloth (4,000 renminbi in total),
The expenditure is more detailed, such as two stones of salt (900 yuan), six stones of reserved seeds (380 yuan), and seven stones of agricultural tools (420 yuan).
In addition, there are land rent, taxes, sacrifices, medicine and so on.
"Have you memorized everyone in the village?" Jiang Beiran asked when turning to the last page.
"Reporting to Your Majesty! The villain has nothing to do in his spare time, so he helps the villagers record some of their expenses, so that they know how to save, so that they won't lose their lives in the event of a famine."
"Very good." Jiang Beiran nodded, looked at Deng Xianghan next to him and said, "Write it down."
"Follow the order." After Deng Xianghan finished speaking, he immediately took out the paper and pen and started writing.
Of course, Jiang Beiran's plan to do private visits on Weibo is not really to experience the addiction in the drama, but mainly to do business. What is business? Let these local officials know that they have an emperor who can come to inspect them at any time is business!
From the very beginning, he never intended to govern the country only with the wise emperor's strategies that he had learned in textbooks. This is a fantasy world! It can be opened and hung! There are many ways to magically change the efficiency, but it will take a long time!
And being able to fly is the top cheat.
In addition to visiting the scene in person, publicity is also very important, and when he thought about how to spread the information quickly, two words popped into Jiang Beiran's mind.
[reporter]
When Jiang Beiran expressed his idea of being a reporter, Deng Xianghan responded positively, wanting to be the first batch of reporters and write down everything he saw and heard along the way.
After remembering the words of the village, Deng Xianghan saluted and said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have written it all down."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening, stretched out his hand and patted Muramasa's shoulder and said, "Good job, what's your name?"
Village Zheng shouted excitedly: "Report to Your Majesty, the villain is called Liu Ya!"
"Okay, I'll take you as an example and tell the whole country, so that all parents and officials will learn from you!"
How could Liu Ya have been so stimulated before, and he couldn't say anything when he was excited, so he could only kowtow "bang bang bang".
"Don't knock it down, your wine is really good, go and help me prepare some food, I will eat at your place today."
"Follow the order! Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, the villain will prepare now, prepare now!"
After Liu Ya finished speaking, he rushed out of the gazebo again.
"It's really rare to see a good official." Deng Xianghan said with emotion.
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, "That's why we need to let the world know that such good officials still exist."
About half an hour later, Liu Ya, who had prepared the food, ran back to the gazebo and said: "Your Majesty, the food has been prepared for you. Do you want to eat here, or go to the villain's humble house and make a fuss?" ?”
"Let's eat in this gazebo. The scenery here is beautiful. It's just a good time to drink."
"Follow the order!"
After Liu Ya finished speaking, he retreated immediately, and led the villagers to send the food into the gazebo one by one.
I don't know if Liu Ya didn't intend to slap his face to be fat, or if he slapped his face, he couldn't be fat. The dishes on this table were very farmhouse.
Steamed rice with sorghum rice, steamed buns with white flour, fried watermelon and lotus root, and a large plate of pumpkin and sweet potato.
When Jiang Beiran looked at these dishes, Liu Ya bowed and said: "Your Majesty, let the villain be bold. The villain guessed that you were tired of eating delicacies in the palace, so I prepared some more farm dishes for you to try. Although these dishes It looks ugly, but the villain guarantees that it tastes great."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening: "It looks good, you should sit down and eat together."
"The villain dare not!"
"I let you sit down."
"This... villain obeys the order."
After Liu Ya finished speaking, he sat down across from Jiang Beiran tremblingly, but he didn't dare to touch the chair with his butt at all.
Looking at Liu Ya who was shaking more and more violently, Jiang Beiran finally decided not to force others, and said, "Forget it, get up and stand beside me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Ya, who felt his legs were going numb, quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor, and then stood beside him according to the emperor's words.
